Ummmmmmm did anyone seee on TV about the latest stats the police released?

it goes something like this:

Of all the high speed police chases in Australia?or NSW forgot..

about 70% ended up in crashes

20% resulted in the death or someone else apart from the driver?

and 10% i think was the death of the driveR?

they aint exactly..but vaguely it went somethin like that..

-_-; so i dun think that itz a good idea to out run a cop.

Once i got done speeding and i pulled over and had a go at the cop..i told him that me doing 80 in a 60 was more safe than him doing 60 in a 60 in his bucket of bolts...he agreed with me and said"after we signalled to pull you up i turned to the other officer in the car and said Fark if he decides to go we are gonna have to get the chopper out to catch him in that...we dont have a hope!"

A mate of mine is a cop and he catches people in faster cars all the time because he is a better driver.  

True story... guy in an NSX was caught by a Rodeo paddy wagon :P

You would have to hang your head in shame...the punk driving the NSX didnt allow for the police going bush over median strips ect ect to catch him :Oops:

99% of the time if the police want to catch they will, if you get lucky and they couldnt be bothered then you may get away with it.

If you run, you'd better hope they didn't catch your plates - happened to one P-plating motorcyclist heading around the mountains last year. They flashed, he took off at speeds somewhere around 180+ I think it was..but they had his plates and just got him when he got home..silly.

Incidentally, I read in the Herald a couple of weeks ago that in NSW there's nothing they can really get you with except for Neg Driving - it doesn't come under failing to obey an officer, or resist arrest. All they can peg you with is the fine + 3 points.

They were talking about changing it though, in light of those crashes in hi-speed chases recently.

Lemme see...

GTR in Sydney in the early hours of the morning, running from police. I bet you anything he had a mate hanging around either in another Skyline or WRX. It's just the way of things in Sydney and the reason why Skyline's aren't too popular with the constabulary.

Sad but true.

hey i saw the the r34 gtr on sunday nite that thing was crazieee  

2 asian guys had euro number plates with volks  

we had mad fun on parra rd arund 2-3am he was pretty craziee running my mates s15 chopping him obviously.........

lookeed crazy man it was a r34gtr v-spec 2 young guys man max 25 highlight of my long weekend

was it white if so the wheels are nismo's, highlighted my weekend also.

couldnt of they just gotton the plate and chased up the driver in a couple of hours?? or calling in some other cops around the area..dont think he would of gotton away so easy.
Don't  you think a white R34 GTR would be pretty easy to find seeing as they are not real common.

Sure, it might not be hard to find a white R34 GTR by looking it up or whatever, but really, the cops have no proof because they won't didn't get the plates.

couldnt of they just gotton the plate and chased up the driver in a couple of hours?? or calling in some other cops around the area..dont think he would of gotton away so easy.

u would always have another place to store your car, so i doubt he would have driven home after running from the cops. Its not like the cops can see his car a week later on the street and book him because unless they catch you running on that occasion they cant do anything

Well what are you looking at if they do catch you? Fine or time or what? I mean speeding is just a ticket, running for the cops is a whole new deal I'd imagine. I think it's stupid that in order to get out of one crime you commit a way bigger crime, so that when you do get caught you really get the book thrown at you.

They would book you for everything you do wrong during the pursuit.

- Neg driving

- Dangerous driving

- Speeding

- Failure to indicate

- Falure to stop at stop sign

- Red light offences

on top of that they stick you with

- Evasion

- Resisting arrest

Jabtronic: how do you figure that the police wouldnt get the plates? As the story was told the police were behind the GTR, and considering number plates are reflective and it was at night, im pretty sure the police would have the cars plates. Wether they are legitimate or stolen plates however is another story.

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
